So i got this itch a while back to make a new sim and here it is!!
Been working on it the past month and as i worked a little with Kylie on the summer Trace i really grew in love with it.
Wanted to sort of recreate that feel again but what came out in the end is very different and maybe as it should be.
Could not hide my love for autumn as it shows through in this new sim a bit once again.
Its a beachy feel but not tropical also has a wooded area and hills but yet flat areas so a mix of a few different landscapes. As i had a few ideas at once i wanted all in the same area.
This is a residential sim yet all are welcome just keep the tenants in mind when the parcels are rented.
Hope you all will enjoy!:)
Heres the SLURL
Even though there is a little bit of blue sky, it was pretty dark (for afternoon), very dim light. The weather was coming from behind, super dark low clouds and it was just minutes before it started raining. That's one of those 'just do it' panoramas, but I took the chance despite the light cause it's not the old days anymore, this is besides a well-trodden path and so when the weather is nice, it's ..touristy by now. 😕 Would like to do this location with better conditions one day, the lake takes on all sorts of beautiful green tones (at least on the visible spectrum) due to the forest around.
Source for this is a 4 piece panorama, 12567 x 5520px, ~69,4MP, but cropped a little, to give the lake center stage.
There is some fringing going on against the sky (not a huge fan), which is in part due to the lens I think, but I'll spare you the rant.
It was also the time when I (finally) decided to jump on AdobeRGB as long as I'm lossless with the D3300, ran the D90 with an sRGB chain for IR.
Monochrome conversions turned out nice, did not offer anything distinct however, were just like regular b&w. Overall, field of view is about 180°. 👀

……A bit of a climb but well worth it for the views, we reckon its 50 years since we’d been up the Wrekin - amazing really, but when things are on your doorstep you so often don't get around to doing them! We’ve climbed many more mountains in Cumbria and more often than this local mountain sitting on the Shropshire plains. So it was a nice thing to do with family up from London - we took a packed lunch and ate it at the top.……Alan:-)…….

If you get to spend a bit of time in the high altitude Himalayas you soon start to appreciate the old Nepalese pilots adage that “we don't fly when there are clouds, because the clouds have rocks in them”. Peaking though the clouds here is the incredible spire of Ama Dablam at 6,812 metres (22,349 ft). Ama Dablam translates to "Mother's necklace" as the long ridges on each side are said to resemble the arms of a mother (ama) protecting her child, and the hanging glacier thought of as the dablam, the traditional double-pendant containing pictures of the gods, worn by Sherpa women.

Regular visitor to this delightful location at this time of the year and often wonder how many of the students actually take time to notice this amazing setting. The security guard that Bruce and I spoke to didnt have a clue suggesting it was a wattle tree....duh.

This isn't velvet, or a fine silky dress, or some strange sun storm, or a complicated fractal graph. This is simple sand, and it is absolutely unbelievable how the water and the wind are able to transform the sand. Day after day, year after year, age after age. Here, in a detail of the famous Antelope Canyon in Arizona, it is possible to see all the five elements gathered in a single image: the earth describes a wave, molded along the time by the wind and burned by the sun.
Entering the Arches National park the visitor had immediately the sensation of statelyness and greatness. What does need one when comes in a place like this? I guess just a horse and a saddle.
A bit of a story here. Sometimes I go to the pond before sunrise to look for otters and mink. The tally for the winter so far is one otter sighting, one mink sighting, and zero photos to show for it. In past years when the mammals don't show, there have almost always been ducks to enjoy once the light gets good. Not so this year when the pond has sadly been duckless most of the time. That is until this lovely Goldeneye hen showed up. I was hoping she would stick around for the good light and she did. This is actually my first ever photo of a female persuasion Common Goldeneye.

A little bit of a power shuffle pulls some units out of the servicing area while a couple other sets of power sit idle on a Sunday morning.
A bit of fun , well he was asking for it posing like that ! Thanks to my son Robin for the photoshopping.

I think the chap lurking in the background is wondering why they aren't playing the starring role... It's a landscape heron!
I know that I am a bit late to the party, but here is my take of the close encounter of Mars with the Pleiades open cluster.
I would have loved to shoot this as a deepscape from a dark sky location with some nice landscape in the foreground, but first I was clouded out and when it finally cleared, I had to fly the other day and was only able to shoot from my light polluted backyard.
Sometimes, you have to take what you can, even if it means to shoot a reflection nebula under a bortle 5 sky. Hope I will have better conditions in 17 years, when this encounter will happen again.

Oh dear. I meant this to be on private until tomorrow morning. There are 3 more I've posted that I have put on private for now. As my eyes are troubling me a lot at the moment I find it easier to do it a little at a time in 2 stages but I've got the order wrong too! When covid came along many of us had to grow our hair long. It was quite an undertaking for my very thick frizzy hair and I needed varied tools to keep it in place. This was called a slide but much different from what I knew as a slide. I have them in 3 different colours. I played with combining some in different ways this morning.
Thank you so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep some sort of touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.
I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups
One of the lowest tides this year revealed a lot of the bits that had fallen off the West Pier, which are usually under the water.
Bit of a Marmite shot I would think.
the bokeh has not been added in post - shot though a dew covered branch in the foreground.,
When we stand in awe, our lips do not demand speech; we know that if we spoke, we would deprave ourselves. In such moments talk is an abomination. All we want is to pause, to be still, that the moment may last. It is like listening to great music; how it reaps the yield from the fertile soil of stillness; we are swept by it without being able to appraise it. The meaning of the things we revere is overwhelming and beyond the grasp of our understanding. We possess no categories for it and would distort it if we tried to appraise it by our standard of values; it essentially surpasses our criteria.

Bit of a story here....
Some 29 years ago (yikes!) I arrived in Sheffield having transferred from London Ambulance to take up my new post at Longley Ambulance Station.
I filled a vacancy there due to a chap leaving and going off to Canada to start a new life over there in the ambulance service.
His name was/is Lou Gelsthorpe.
The other day I was sat in Middlewood Ambulance Station when a guy came in and asked if there were any 'old' ambulance men about..
I said no everybody was out bar me and the cleaners.
I asked him what he wanted 'old ambulance men' for and he said that he used to work for South Yorkshire Ambulance a while back but had moved to Canada...
The penny slowly dropped and I asked him his name.....
Yes! It was/is the same guy! Lou Gelsthorpe!
I was amazed at seeing him and then I told him that I was the guy who took his place at Longley Station 29 years ago... It was then his turn to be amazed...!
What a thing eh!
For me to be at Middlewood Station when he called in on the off chance & not even the station we were both at 29 years ago either!.
Amazing..!
We sat down and had a bit of a reminisce and I got out the station photo albums and we looked through them and he saw guys and gals that he recognised and even remembered names of! I had to point out the ones who had not only retired but had unfortunately died as well.. (bit sad but very good too!)
He couldn't stay too long but I asked if I could take a picture of him and put it up here on Flickr..
So I did! There he is in the top one with one of our newest vehicles.....
Plus for a 'context' view I have placed him (in the lower picture) leaning on the very vehicles that both he & I drove & worked from out of Longley Station, but of course not at the same time!
Not a great 'clone' shot but I thought I'd put them together...
Wow what an interesting encounter eh!
Lou said that he had some old photos from his time with SYAS and would email them to me... So watch this space..
I work for Yorkshire Ambulance Service on the RRVs in and around the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire.
It’s a great job and I feel very honoured to be able to help people at their point of need.
Check out the website for all sorts of info re YAS and the work we do.
Taken little bit before sunrise at Uutela Nature Reserve, Helsinki in January (DSC08594-3). Captured with Sony a7iii + Laowa 15 mm f/2 lens. Taken four different exposures and post-prosessed in LR and PS.
The heavens opened and most folk took shelter as it didn't look to be improving Stu and myself retired to the pub, just to get out of the rain, honest...........
Bit of a lazy day, despite not staying up till midnight for the first time in years... We usually watch Hootenanny, but George Ezra was up first, which caused us to turn TV off and go to bed at 11.30pm. Not much point, as the West Chiltington bazooka brigade started up at midnight or thereabouts. More money than sense round here. At least I didn't have to deal with a terrified horse...
A first attempt at oil and water pictures... More work required methinks.
